Venoria

Venoria is the jewel of the eastern Velancian coast, a proud maritime city whose wealth and influence have shaped the peninsula for centuries. Built on a network of islands and canals, its domes and towers rise above the sea like a vision of splendor, welcoming ships from every corner of the world.
Venoria’s strength lies in trade. Its merchant houses are ancient and cunning, their fleets ranging to every corner of the known world. Spices, silks, rare books, and stranger things pass through its bustling harbors. In Velancia, no city moves coin or information faster.
Though accused of decadence by rivals, Venorians prize elegance, wit, and ambition. Their festivals dazzle with music and masks, their artisans craft beauty into every corner, and even their intrigues are refined. Among the fractious Velancian states, Venoria has often been the voice of commerce, diplomacy, and quiet power.
